Egypt revises death toll from train crash to 19

Initial death toll of 32 has been revised down while number of injured has risen to 185 people, health minister says.

Egypt has begun to bury the dead from a train collision that killed at least 19 people and injured 185, according to a revised toll, as investigators probed the country’s latest deadly rail crash. Health Minister Hala Zayed told reporters on Saturday that an initial toll of 32 killed in Friday’s crash was revised down, while the number of injured rose from 165. Surveillance camera footage of the accident seen by AFP showed a speeding train barrelling into another as it rolled slowly down the tracks, sending a carriage hurtling into the air in a cloud of dust.
